Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 758 Telling the Mode of Sunny Cinema

Hearing Xiao Lishan's words, Su Changde said in a deep voice, "Did I ever say that I want to control the film schedule of the major theaters?"

Obviously, he called the people in charge of these theaters over this time to negotiate. Of course, the Department of Culture had already made a plan before.

But Xiao Lishan's lack of face made Su Changde feel a little uncomfortable.

Hearing his words, Xiao Lishan then said: "Okay, then I would like to ask Director Su, what are the standards you have formulated for filming?"

"This requires everyone to sit down and discuss together, otherwise how can it be called a discussion?" Su Changde replied lightly.

"Then we won't participate." Xiao Lishan said directly when he heard it: "The so-called prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world is full of hustle and bustle for profit. If we get more benefits, then we promise to implement it.”

After finishing speaking, Xiao Lishan smiled slightly, turned and left the conference room.

In fact, there is another sentence behind him. Although he didn't say it, everyone knows that if the film scheduling standards discussed by the Department of Culture and other theaters cannot meet their interests, or even fail to meet their expectations, then they must be would not agree.

Not only Xiao Lishan, but representatives of other martial arts theaters obviously meant the same thing, so when Xiao Lishan left, they also left.

"boom!"

"What a bastard!"

Su Changde's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water, and he slapped the table hard.

As the director of the Cultural Department who just took office, what Xiao Lishan and the other five theaters did just now undoubtedly gave Su Changde a slap in the face.

At this time, Zhang Yimou said, "Director Su, you don't have to be angry. They are a group of profit-seeking people who take office, and they don't care about the life and death of our Huaguo movies. Maybe the worse the domestic movies are, the happier they will be."

Su Changde said coldly: "I'm actually not surprised that Suo Li dared to do this. What really annoys me is that the other five cinemas have made enough money in Huaguo, and they all followed Suo Li. There's no reason for that."

Zhou Jun, CEO of Rising Sun Films, said, "Director Su, what should we do now?"

Su Changde said in a deep voice: "From June next year, domestic films will be invaded by Hollywood and other countries' films. We must formulate a regulation on the issue of film scheduling, otherwise, the entire film release will become a a mess."

At this time, Mr. Zhuo of Longda said: "The problem is that their six cinema chains have already occupied one-third of our domestic market. If they put shackles on us, I'm afraid we haven't waited until June next year to fly. They have already been maimed."

In fact, his worry is very reasonable. Relatively speaking, the six theaters including Suo Li are not under the control of the Department of Culture, so they are relatively free, but other domestic theaters are not so limited.

At that time, the only thing left to do is to be hanged and beaten.

However, Zhuo Fu also felt that what he said just now was a bit timid, so he quickly changed his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Director Su, what I mean is that when formulating the rules, can you think more about our theater?"

"The cost of running a theater chain is already scary, Mr. Zhang, don't you think so?"

In fact, this Zhuo Fu is also a very smart person. Among the people present at the moment, only Zhang Xiao owns the largest market share of Sunshine Cinemas. As for the other small cinemas, they don't have much say.

Therefore, he knew that if he wanted the Culture Department to give in, he had to pull Zhang Xiao, a billionaire, onto his boat, otherwise, the strength of Longda's family would not be able to compete with the Culture Department.

When Zhang Xiao heard that the topic suddenly shifted to himself, he touched his nose and said, "Mr. Zhuo, to be honest, I am really a layman when it comes to the internal operation and management of theater chains. If you ask me, it is quite So I didn't ask."

Another boss at the side said: "Mr. Zhang, you hold the complete Sunny Cinemas in your hands, and you are also a shareholder of Disney Cinemas, Warner Cinemas, and Ball Cinemas. Can you not understand the difficulties?"

Zhang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said, "To be honest, I haven't even read the financial statements. These matters are all handled by the people of Qingtian Company. What do you think I can know?"

Zhuo Fu said: "Mr. Zhang, you are really hardworking. Maybe for you, the profits of theater chains are not at all important, but our theater chains really can't do it."

Zhang Xiao said: "Mr. Zhuo, although I don't know much about the business management here, I still understand one thing, that is, survival of the fittest must be achieved."

"Arranging a large number of films invested by the family, in normal times, the profits obtained must be greater. There is no doubt about this, but if you want to look at it from a long-term perspective, it is not the case at all. Something happened."

"As long as there is a box office hit of a movie outside, you will suffer a very large loss, and you may not be able to make it back in two months."

"The current route that our Sunshine Company is taking is determined by me. The schedule of films is completely determined according to the pre-sale box office. Our own films will be given an extra 5.00% to [-]%. This is already the limit of preferential treatment. "

"After the movie is released, look at its box office, word-of-mouth, and attendance. Whoever has a good score will be given more movies, even if it is Sunny's own movie."

"Under such rules, we, Qingtian, seem to have earned about 30 billion more from what I heard from Yang Mi. You know, it's only been half a year since the actual launch of Qingtian Cinemas."

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, the people in charge of the theaters and the directors at the scene all exclaimed.

Earning 30 billion in half a year, this kind of profitability is simply too good.

Zhuo Fu immediately asked: "Mr. Zhang, is the 30 billion you mentioned the profit of the theater chain, or does it include the profit of making movies? You know, only your movie "Zhu Xian" and "Twelve Angry Men" Just made billions of dollars.”

Zhang Xiao explained: "Of course it's the profits of the theater alone. As for "Zhu Xian" and "Twelve Angry Men", both are films that I personally invested in. The box office has nothing to do with sunny days, and my wife keeps them. gone."

"Hahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

At this time, Su Changde said: "Mr. Zhuo, Mr. Zhou, it is almost impossible for your business model to win when foreign films are aggressively attacking."

"I hope that you can make some backbones of the company and work with the film production company to discuss a film scheduling standard that everyone can agree on, and take into account the profits of theaters and production companies to the greatest extent."

Zhuo Fu and the representatives of the major theaters nodded after hearing Su Changde's words.

Seeing this, Su Changde said: "Well, since everyone agrees, let's start discussions in the Department of Culture from tomorrow, and try to discuss a standard in the shortest possible time."

"My colleagues in the film industry, the integration of Huaguo films and world films will indeed bring us a lot of pressure, but it is also the best time for domestic films to go out."

"I can tell you the truth. There are already many big companies in our country who are very optimistic about the film industry. They are planning to build theaters around the world. In addition to Mr. Zhang's three major theaters, it can be said that we already have enough distribution channels.”

"The key still depends on whether your production company and filmmakers can make excellent and affordable films."

"In this regard, I personally think that everyone can learn more from Mr. Zhang. His success in this field is obvious to all. Many overseas people call Mr. Zhang No. 1 in the world of cinema."

"As for the country, I don't think I need to say more. Netizens have called him that for a long time."
